What Smart Home Devices Do We Install?

We specialize in installing and configuring virtually every type of smart home device on the market. Our technicians stay current with the latest technology, so whether you bought your devices yesterday or you’re upgrading older equipment, we know exactly how to get them working perfectly.

  • Smart Thermostats

  • Video Doorbells & Smart Locks

  • Home Security Systems & Cameras

  • Smart Speakers & Displays

  • Smart Hubs & Home Automation

  • Smart Lighting, Blinds, Garage Doors & More

Save money on energy bills while staying perfectly comfortable. We install and program smart thermostats from all major brands, connecting them to your Wi-Fi network and teaching you how to control your home’s temperature from anywhere. Whether you’re at work in downtown Cleveland or on vacation, you’ll have complete climate control at your fingertips.

See who’s at your door from anywhere and never worry about lost keys again. We install Ring, Nest Hello, and other video doorbells, ensuring perfect camera angles and reliable motion detection. For smart locks, we work with August, Level, Schlage, and more – giving you keyless entry, remote access for guests, and complete peace of mind about your home security.

Protect what matters most with professionally installed security cameras and systems. From SimpliSafe to comprehensive multi-camera setups, we’ll position cameras for optimal coverage, configure motion zones to reduce false alerts, and integrate everything with your smartphone for 24/7 monitoring. Many of our clients throughout Northeast Ohio choose us specifically for security installations because we ensure every blind spot is covered.

Your Echo, Google Home, or Sonos speakers can do so much more than play music. We’ll set up multi-room audio, create custom voice commands, connect compatible devices, and show you hidden features you didn’t know existed. Whether it’s an Echo Dot in your kitchen or a full Sonos system throughout your Akron home, we make it simple.

Samsung SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant – these hubs are the brain of your smart home, but they can be complex to configure. We’ll set up your hub, connect all compatible devices, create automated routines (like “Good Morning” scenes that adjust lights, temperature, and more), and ensure everything communicates properly.

From Philips Hue lighting that sets the perfect ambiance to smart garage door openers and automated window blinds, we install it all. These devices add convenience and can even enhance security by making your home look occupied when you’re away.

Our Smart Home Installation Process: Simple, Transparent, Stress-Free

Step 1: Free Consultation

Call, email, or use our online form to describe what you need. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your situation.

We start with a conversation about your goals. Want to start small with a video doorbell? Planning a whole-home system? During our consultation (available in-person or by phone), we’ll discuss what devices you already have, what you want to add, and any challenges with your current setup.

Step 2: Custom Recommendation & Quote

Based on your needs and budget, we’ll provide a detailed quote with no hidden fees. If you haven’t purchased devices yet, we can recommend the best options for your specific situation and even help you avoid common compatibility issues.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Our experienced technicians arrive on time, work efficiently, and treat your home with respect. We handle all the physical installation – mounting devices securely, running cables if needed, and ensuring everything looks clean and professional.

Step 4: Complete Configuration

This is where we really shine. For your smart home installation, we’ll connect every device to your network, configure settings for optimal performance, create user accounts, set up automation routines, and integrate everything so your devices work together seamlessly.

Before & After: The Smart Home Transformation

Before

Many of our clients come to us frustrated. They’ve spent hours trying to connect devices, watched countless YouTube tutorials, and still can’t get everything working right. Smart devices sit in boxes, apps show error messages, and the “smart home dream” feels more like a nightmare. Some folks have partially working setups where some devices connect but others don’t, routines don’t trigger reliably, or family members can’t figure out how to use anything.

After

After our smart home installation and training, everything just works. You tap your phone and see who’s at the front door. You say “Alexa, I’m leaving” and your lights turn off, thermostat adjusts, and security system arms automatically. You check your cameras from the office and confirm the package was delivered. You give temporary access codes to guests without leaving your desk. Your energy bills drop because your smart thermostat learns your schedule. Most importantly, you actually enjoy your smart home technology instead of fighting with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical smart home installation take?

It depends on what you’re installing. A single device like a video doorbell typically takes 30-60 minutes. A comprehensive whole-home system might take hours or span several days. During your consultation, we’ll give you an time estimate.

Do I need to buy the devices before you arrive?

Your choice! Many clients purchase devices first and then call us for installation. Others prefer our recommendations before buying to ensure compatibility and get the best value. We’re happy to help either way.

Can you do a Nest thermostat installation?

Absolutely! We do smart thermostats from all major brands. We have experience with Ecobee, Honeywell, Amazon, Sensi and more. We can also help if you just have a standard programmable thermostat.

Will this work with my existing Wi-Fi?

Usually, yes! Most smart home devices work with standard home Wi-Fi networks. If your network has weak spots, we can identify those areas and make recommendations for router/network/Wi-Fi upgrades. We can procure those devices and install them as well.

What if something stops working later?

Give us a call! Often we can troubleshoot over the phone. If an in-person visit is needed, we’ll schedule that promptly. We stand behind our work.

Do you only serve Akron?

We’re based in the Akron area but serve all of Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland, Canton, Medina, Wadsworth, Green, Hudson, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, North Canton, Massillon, and surrounding communities. Call us to confirm service in your area.

Are smart home devices secure?

When configured properly, yes! We set up secure passwords, enable two-factor authentication where available, and follow best practices to keep your devices protected. We’ll also teach you security basics during our training.

What’s the cost for installation?

Pricing varies based on the number and type of devices, complexity of setup, and whether any mounting/wiring is needed. Single devices are typically around $125. We can do price bundling for multiple devices installed in a single trip. We provide transparent quotes upfront with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free estimate.
